Abstract
A method, system, and software product in which wrappers for rules automation technology are provided. Business rules, business objects, and at least one object agent, representing a corresponding one of the business objects, are provided. The object agent is inserted into a business rules agenda for executing the business rules so that the business rules are directly applied to the object agent, and thereby, are indirectly applied to the corresponding business object. This approach advantageously allows unsophisticated users of rules automation technology to interface with complex business objects and prevents an exception from destroying a business transaction.
